An important message from your Deals Diva

As you may be aware, the Orange County Register was recently sold to new owners who are spending a great deal of time and money improving the quality of our print newspaper.

Already, they've added a daily business section, hired a new business editor, hired an award-winning fulltime restaurant reviewer and numerous other changes that are going to make our paper even better than it was before.

As a result, they have decided that most of us should devote our time to the print newspaper, and either reduce or eliminate the effort we are making to work on blogs like this one.

Over the last three years, I feel like many of you have become my friends and colleagues in the continual hunt to save money. Thank you for making me feel like part of your family.

Some of you may know that I'm already writing a Sunday deals column each Sunday for the local section of the Register. I will continue to write that. However, I will not be continuing to update this blog. (frowny face here)

I will keep posting deals on my Deals Diva Facebook page, just because I love you, so stay with me on there and let's continue to have some fun.

The newspaper industry is evolving as fast as the technology that brings it to you, so we're all in a constant state of change now. Let's see what the future holds. I have no intention of going anywhere--or of halting my constant search for deals!

It's been a fun ride and I hope you stay along with me for the next twist and turn! I have become very attached to all of you.
